Deadly Kong is a retooling of the ever popular Iron Kong. The face doesn’t say “deadly” to me, so much as it says “friendly”. In the anime, that stupid bandage conceals some nasty weaponry. In real life, the weaponry was sold separately, several months after DK’s release.
I’ve had Iron Kong PK since 2001, but I’ve always had the armors swapped (to make all Grey Kong and all Red Kong). Fall 2005 was the first time I’d done the “stock” configuration. I always thought the armor was pink, but it clearly isn’t. Last spring (2007) I finally got around to stickering and detailing. It took so long, because I was nervous and didn’t want to mess up one of my rarest zoids.
1-5: Here’s a close approximation of the Schubaltz Kong’s colors. The upper arm should be dark, but it’s molded in one piece with the shoulder. The hands aren’t quite right either, but it’s close enough, eh? Sorry, no gatling just yet.
6-10: Here is a very red kong. You can also make a very black kong with the remaining bits, but such a beast would be impossible to photograph.
11-14: Using some parts from the LB Gojulas MK-II, I made an approximation of the non limited Kong MK-II.
It’s a super poseable mini-me of the OJR Iron Kong! I don’t know why I did it, but the last pic is a dancing Kong gif.
BEST LB EVER! Modeled after the ultra rare limited version of the OJR MK-II. A fraction of the size and an even bigger fraction of the cost! The armor on this one manages to be both pearly and metallic. Also, the standard build calls for a red eyepiece, and everything else clear green, which always seemed odd to me. Thankfully, they included an entire sprue of clear pieces in each color, so you can mix and match.
